The combat control was also very different. You may be able to color your equipment with runes, but all of the combat is basically the same, even when you master all of the advanced combat moves. The equipment selection and weapons are somewhat cool though. There is absolutely no action here, except running around different areas trying to find different ways to move on in reality. If you die 4 or 5 times in a specific spot, and the combat itself only takes two minutes, you are spending half the time watching an angel type creature take you up and come back to life over and over and over.
Also, there are a few times when there are many machines you have to kill, but every time you die it takes you atleast 15 or 20 seconds to come back to life. The pros include:Addictive combat scenesSemi colorful equipmentCut scenes look decentSound clips Now, the cons.The cyberspace. I realize there are many other reviews on here, but i feel obligated to list the pros and cons with this game. The very first thing i saw was the cutscenes, which were nice. If you like this sort of game, I would advise renting it first; you will probably get enough of it from playing it just once. One of the worst things ive seen in a gameExtremely slow and annoying deathsSlow movement except when in combatRepetitive skill and combat stylesThere are many other cons, but I will just post a quick summary of the game. The same also goes for your skills: you have a skill tree, but it barely affects gameplay as much as Oblivion or Diablo 2 does.
You have to enter cyberspace many times throughout the game, and this is extremely tedius and slow. I only played with the berserker class, but I felt like I had enjoyed enough of the game with one play through. Also, i really wish there was a button to make you run faster. After that, it progressed into a worse game. If you are superhuman, why do you have to basically waddle throughout every part of the game where there is no enemies. It was not completely bad, but it seemed strange that the only game that had this strange combat control style and terrible camera placement was with this game.
Even with all the failures of this title I still had a ton of fun playing through the whole game. The graphics are very good, the combat is really fun imo - it's really not that bad of a game. Lol ok this game is far from perfect but it's definitely worth a rental. I can understand giving it a mediocre review but I really don't get the overly negative attention this game has gotten. If you like Diablo I think you'll like this.
As could the inventory UI.Definitely worth buying if you are a fan of the genre. In fact, you don't even realize it's full potential until at least one full play-through of the game, which is probably why it recieved many negative reviews.Combat is fun and addictive. Rating [9 / 10]Too Human is a very addictive action RPG. The action elements are just really enjoyable.The skill trees are very well thought out.Loot system is very involved.Co-op is really cool and there is rumor it will be updated to 4 player.Cool characters and the story is awesome.Levels are nicely designed.Replay value is very high.It is not without its fault as the camera could have used a bit more refinement. The demo doesn't do it justice as it is just too short to understand the full potential of this game.
Your enemies are very are tot ake down later in the game. Its very polished and there's a ton of little details that let you know the developers genuinely cared about this game, it was their baby. I had to turn it off many times due to frustration. Character animations are lacking and very stiff, but your attacks do a good job of poprtraying a sense of power, and sliding across the floor looks just plain cool. There's a bunch off loot for you to customize your character with.
The game-play is another thing that makes this game so unique. There can be a huge amount of things happening on-screen, and the framerate somehow manages to keep up smoothly the entire time. it isn't the best looking game ever produced, but its still nice to look at. Instead of using your traditional XYBA buttons for combat, you use the right control stick. Its very fun at first, but gets old after a couple fo hours.When you play this game, you can tell that a lot of work went into it.
Overall its a technically impressive game.The soundwork is great. Silicon Knights has delivered on some of those ideas, while the most important ones are sadly ignored.The graphics are pretty good. The targeting is solid for the msot part, with the occasional quirks. I'm sad to say this is a solid game, and nothing more. I still had the urge every once in a while to move the camera though. The music is perfect and dramatic, and it reacts to your situation.
The main city is gigantic, while the levels are narrow, streamlined, and cramped. I haven't run into any bugs throughout the game, but it is littered with invisible walls. My friend and I had such high hopes for this game. I think the sci-fi art design mixed with norse mythology turned out well and gives the game a unique and attractive look, although I'm sure there are plenty who disagree with me. It ends up feeling like you're banging your head against the wall and the game gets intensely frustrating. I had various ideas of how it would turn out. Normally this would be a major problem concerning the camera, but Silicon Knights has done a great job of using cinematic camera angles that allow you to see the action pretty well, plus you can center the camera back on Baldur with the press of a button.
Ironically, during cinematics the framerate stutters and there can be a little bit of texture pop-in. Baldur especially looks good, they put a lot of work into making him the standout. The character models are well rendered for the most part, with a couple of exceptions. The right control stick works out better than msot were predicting, but it is still alittle clunky and can sometimes be unresponsive. The voice acting is pretty good for the most part, with a few cheesy moments. The lighting effects are great, but I didn't really notice any shadows at all. The storyline is awesome if you're into norse mythology, although not entirely accurate. Unfortunately it just doesn't work out in the long run.
Again, this doesn't end really on a sub-plot either.
PROS:This game was very fun, and very inventive.It is a game that everyone should play.
You find out a piece of information, and then the credits role and tell you to buy the second one.So, this game was fun, but do NOT buy it.
When you do though, play it for at least a couple of hours to get used to it though.The controls are goofy and frustrating at first, but once you get used to them, you wonder why you would want to do it any other way.So, coolness and fun, I give this game 4 or 5 stars.CONS:This game just ends right in the middle of the plot.
It's like playing HALO half way through and then just throwing the game away.So, to play 1 actual game, you are going to have to spend darn near $200 for all 3.
This game doesn't end on a sub-plot like the HALO franchise, or any other for that matter.
You have to buy the next 2 games to find out what is going on.
With most games, you expect the ending is coming and at least something gets wrapped up.
Rent it, spend a day or two on it and give it back.
